Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaWe didn’t like that we had to leave.. Our week went way too fast & we plan on staying much longer next visit!
This farm stay was Excellent in every way possible! Funtastic air bnb with all the facilities you need. Upstairs the beds were so comfy & warm. Even has a little ‘Harry Potter’ room, which was also utilised to the max! The breathtaking rural farm views as well as over into Te Kuiti township were just second to none. We had the pleasure of mingling with farm dogs, helping ourselves to the Delicious Feijoa trees, sampling the awesome Host Karen’s Brownies.. yummy yummy! Was so Awesome to meet Karen & Phillip they are good old fashioned hosts with plenty of smiles & friendly conversations, very helpful with lots of local recommendations for local outings of all kinds. Their dedication to their farm stay & their farm lifestyle shines through beautifully every day! The exquisite views of the pretty stars & milky-way to name one - at night is just Devine as well.. We will be back again, sooner rather than later we can guarantee it! Thank you Karen & Phillip again for having us, this is The Best Air BnB we have stayed at yet & we have tried out a lot. See you both again soon xx

Loved everything about the loft. Cosy, but plenty of space. Such a beautiful property and view, enjoyed greeting the cows in the morning. Was like a home away from home.

AustraliaBeds are doubles and the place would be perfect with a queen. This is clear on the booking and that's great. My only issue with this is the beds have a wooden foot on them and so tall people like myself can't let our feet hang off the end and really get comfy. I ended up having to sleep diagonal in the second bed. Very minor gripe hence the near perfect score anyway. Just might help a fellow tall person.
The views were amazing (even despite the near persistent rain). Kitchen was well equipped with a plug in induction stovetop and plethora of utensils. Rooms were cozy and the shower was great. Living Room was super comfy. Bonus points for bonus doggo, Dudley who was super friendly (owners were quite lovely too but dog wins).
